So, What Did You Play This Week – Origins, 2017

Now, what everyone wants to know – what sorts of things did you play while you were away, Marti and Sarah? Sarah did an awesome job of putting together lists for us to publish.

Tuesday 6/13/17

We were with Sarah’s family for the week (they live just outside of the city), so we got some gaming in with the kids.

Kingdomino

Qwixx

Ghost Blitz

Wednesday 6/14/17

We started the week off right and, as a result, we played tons of games while making new friends at the same time! Some were played before the doors opened, others were played at the demo room, and even others were played well into the evening with the amazing people from To Die For Games.

On Thursday, the exhibition hall was open and, because of that, we got to try out some awesome demos that different publishing companies had going on. That afternoon, we went to the Greatway Games meetup (which was a lot of fun), then we went to the PunchBoard Media meetup. Finally, we went to Nerd Night, which helps to raise funds for a local Children’s Hospital. Lots of great gaming, late into the night!

Saturday was a nice, relaxed day for Sarah and I, so we kind of wandered around and got in some demos and tried out some of the games that we had wanted to see that we hadn’t yet. We went to the Awards that night, and then Dice Tower Live as well – great times!

Sunday 6/18/17

Last day of the con. It was shorter than other days, but still got some good stuff in.

Dicebot MegaFun (BGP)

Carcassonne: The Castle (Board Room)

Vast: The Crystal Caverns demo

Deception: Murder in Hong Kong

The Godfather: Corleone’s Empire demo (CMON 2/4 acts)

Those of you who gamed with us, thank you so much for doing so! We really did have an awesome time and loved getting to know everyone.

For the rest of the week, there are a handful of other things that we plan on doing. Sarah has a quick overview of her demo of Barenpark, I plan on doing one with Codenames: Duet, and we will be knocking out more as time goes on. Stick around and enjoy the content dump!
